Visit through old Delhi without the hassle - Karan (our guide) took us through a working Sikh temple and Delhi’s largest mosque we took our shoes off covered our heads and experienced the exotic atmosphere.
Afterwards we were taken to the markets and enjoyed the hustle of a busy market enjoying the sights and sounds. We rested for a Chai Tea before having a man powered rickshaw back to the start

Fantastic tour - highly recommend. - I just had a fantastic tour with expert tour guide Dave.
I am a female travelling solo and I booked this tour to enable me to visit Old Delhi and the Spice Market in a way that I would not have felt confident to do alone.
The tour exceeded all expectations. Dave was polite, courteous, spoke excellent English, and was unbelievably knowledgeable (he has a history degree!) and passionate about Delhi and its rich history.
We visited multiple sites, all of which were fascinating, and enjoyed a rickshaw ride at the end.
Instead of returning to the meeting point Dave also ensured I got back to my hotel safely since it was in the general area and by now, after sunset. I very much appreciated this.
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It is a jam packed, roller coaster three hours of brilliant Old Delhi exploration.
Thanks Dave!

Tour was a bit short;... - Tour was a bit short; guide was not as knowledgeable as I expected; more time spent in places that took commission for sales than exploring; at least the haggling over rickshaws etc was avoided.
